G9-G10 IGCSE Curriculum
The high school curriculum builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in junior high, with higher academic expectations, focusing on preparing students for international standardized exams. During the course, students enhance and expand their academic abilities to prepare for the IGCSE exams, typically taken in Year 10. Subjects include Art, Music, Biology, Chemistry, Business Studies, Economics, Drama, English as a First Language, English as a Second Language, English Literature, Chinese, Mathematics, Physics, and PE. Teachers design lesson plans to inspire students’ passion for learning, challenge and motivate them, and develop skills and knowledge that transcend traditional subject boundaries.
G11-G12 A-Level Curriculum
After completing IGCSE exams, students enter the final stage of their education, preparing for university entrance. Over two years, students study A-Level courses, which are the gold standard in the UK educational system and are widely recognized by universities worldwide. The curriculum is challenging yet engaging, allowing students to choose subjects for in-depth study based on their strengths. Many students also pursue the EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) to enhance research skills and delve into areas of personal interest.
